History

The club on 28 September 1893 Founded as Football Club do Porto. Instrumental in the founding was António Nicolau d' Almeida, a wine merchant from Porto, who had become acquainted with the sport during his visits to England. The new club was immediately in rivalry to the previously founded club from Lisbon, which was promoted and sponsored by the then Portuguese king Dom Carlos. The first game of both teams was held on March 2, 1894 already lively media interest in Porto instead. The game ended 0-1 in the favor of Porto and was the starting point of a subsequent rain Derby history. As an anecdote to the initial time should be mentioned that d' Almeida its commitment to the club shortly thereafter screwed back, as his fiance and future wife asked him to. In your opinion, the sport was too rough and violent. Due to the departure of d' Almeida was quiet about the club.

It was not until twelve years later, in 1906, there was further developed by José Monteiro Costa and his helpers the club. In August 1906, the club was renamed to FC Porto, but also extended to a number of sports such as athletics, cricket, boxing and swimming. Through the use of Monteiro de Campo, FC Porto established a permanent fixture in Portugal. Already in 1906 the playing field was Campo da da Rua Rainha inaugurated, the first lawn in Portugal. In 1907 was the first game against a foreign team, the Spanish club Real Fortuna de Vigo, held in Porto, and in 1908 played his first game of the FC Porto abroad, as well as in Vigo. The first official title as North Portuguese champion was won in 1912. A national league did not exist until now.

The first successes

In 1912 the club moved to the stadium Constituição Campo to there, which brought a significant improvement in the training conditions with it. As a consequence, also the athletic level of the association increased. This development culminated in winning the first discharged Portuguese Championship in 1934. During the same year the player Augusto Baptista Ferreira designed ( called Simplício ), who was a professional graphic designer, the original club crest. This has since not changed substantially.

Parallel to the football but other sports have been promoted and established new departments, so 1910 Gymnastics 1926 Basketball and Hockey, 1928 Rugby 1932 Handball 1932 Table Tennis, 1940 Billiards and Sports Fishing, 1943 Volleyball 1945 Radrennsport 1951 Climbing and 1955 Ice Hockey.

FC Porto 1945 had about 8,000 paying members, one to the time large number of Portuguese relations. The number of members and athletes rose ever, and the course options were becoming increasingly scarce. Why was begun planning a new stadium, which could be realized, however, only 15 years later. Why was resorted to alternative sports facilities such as sports club of friendly Progresso in Amial or Académico ( Estádio do Lima ). The new stadium was inaugurated in 1952 as the " Estádio do Futebol Clube do Porto ", but it's become known as Estádio das Antas. Originally built as a pure football stadium, the venue became a real sports facility that could be used by other sports.

Period of stagnation

In football, the last ( and only) championship was already some time back. Much more successful were the departments handball and bicycle racing that won the national championships in rows. This relative dry season was ended in 1956, was recovered in the next championship and the Cup (and thus the first double was achieved ). The championship was won again in 1959, but the 18 who joined unsuccessful seasons. Again the departments handball and bicycle racing, which expanded the list of titles won. In 1960, the Department of Motor Sport and 1967 chess was founded.

In 1978, a championship was finally recovered. This success is closely linked to two names: the one the coach José Maria Pedroto (the " master " ), who introduced modern methods of training in Portuguese football, Jorge Nuno Pinto and on the other da Costa, former board of the football department. The latter made ​​later to speak of himself.

The year 1979 brought a number of setbacks with that after the departments table tennis and rugby had been dissolved, was forced to close the department handball. In 40 seasons, this team of 28 championships were succeeded one to the present unsurpassed record in Portugal.

New frontier

The arrival of Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa as club president at FC Porto can be seen as a turning point in the club's history. This, however, made ​​only gradually noticeable. In the same year the first international title ( European Cup ) was won in hockey. This feat was repeated in 1986 and 1990. Likewise, the athletics department developed (see Aurora Cunha or Rosa Mota ). The football team reached the final of the 1984 European Cup Winners' Cup, but Juventus had to concede defeat. Three years later, the European Champion Clubs' Cup against Bayern Munich was won in a dramatic game. After the FC Porto 0:1 had already set back, Rabah Madjer leveled by a backheel just before Juary Filho scored the winning goal. The match for the World Cup was won against Peñarol Montevideo. Was rounded off the season by winning the UEFA Super Cup against Dutch club Ajax Amsterdam. At national level, began a period of dominance that continues to this date. In the 1990s, for example, the championship was won eight times, while five times in a row. Jointly responsible for this was, among other things Bobby Robson, who was employed as a coach from 1993 to 1996.

However, on the international level of success could not be repeated long. As so often later also, good players were poached by more affluent clubs and had to be replaced by inexperienced players. So moved the captain Paulo Futre 1987 to Atlético Madrid and also Rabah Madjer to FC Valencia. Other well-known players such as Mário Jardel, Benni McCarthy or Alenitschew were known at FC Porto during the 1990s to a wider audience.

Only by José Mourinho was possible to re-establish itself in the European upper class.

Mourinho era to today

This began his coaching job in January 2002, by introducing radical innovations. He built the then unknown players Deco and Ricardo Carvalho as well as the returning FC Barcelona Vítor Baía into the team, thus shaping a successful team, in addition to the national championship won the UEFA Cup against Celtic Glasgow 2003. A year later, this performance was surpassed by winning the Champions League final against AS Monaco in Gelsenkirchen 3-0. The team won and won in the same year, the Portuguese Cup and the Portuguese Supercup. The season was crowned by winning the World Cup against the Colombian club Once Caldas ( 8:7 n E. ).

During this highly successful period for the club was in the middle of the city a new stadium, Estádio do Dragão, built. Inaugurated on November 16, 2003 in a game against FC Barcelona, ​​which was won 2-0. The stadium was also the venue for the opening ceremony of the 2004 European Football Championship, and is used in addition to the home matches of FC Porto for the Portuguese national football team games or other major events. The old Estádio das Antas was demolished in 2004.

After his move to Chelsea the place of Mourinho could not be occupied equivalent. The departures of key players like Deco, Ricardo Carvalho and Ferreira could not be collected. Mourinho's successor Luigi Delneri had to go back after 22 days, its successors Víctor Fernández was able to meet the high expectations only partially and was discharged on the 19th game day. Then José Couceiro worked until the end of the season, but could in the year after the Champions League victory neither defend nor yet the championship. In May 2005, Co Adriaanse for the 2005/ 06 season has been committed as a coach. This surprisingly left the club after just one year after he had won the Portuguese double. As the successor Jesualdo Ferreira was hired, who was lured away from the city rivals Boavista Porto in August 2006. This succeeded in three consecutive seasons, to defend the championship, which the FC Porto the dominant team in the league was also in the new millennium ( six total championships between 2000 and 2010 ). This is all the more surprising that the club has always been represented as the only Portuguese team in the Champions League, the quarter-finals of the FC Porto did not come out. As a result of the referee scandal 2003/ 04 the club was expelled from the Champions League under the UEFA Statutes for the 2008/ 09 season. In addition, the club president Pinto da Costa were excluded from all his offices for at least two years and imposed a fine of 150,000 euros. In an appeal of the exclusion from the Champions League in 2008 /09 first preliminary and later final revised. The other punishments remain. Admission to the Champions League 2009/ 10 was also issued.

On 26 May 2010 the club Jesualdo Ferreira, who led FC Porto to three titles and two cup victories dismissed. In the 2009/10 season, however, the FC Porto missed the important second place in the league, which would have meant qualification for the Champions League. Thus, the association is no longer represented the first time since 2003 in the most financially lucrative finals. As a new coach Andre Villas -Boas was hired, who worked as an assistant coach under Jose Mourinho already in the club. With Villas- Boas Porto won the championship with 21 points ahead of arch-rivals Benfica without losing even a game ( last in 1973 Benfica Lisbon ), the Supercup, but also the cup with a clear 6-2 against Vitória Guimarães. For this, the FC Porto won the Europa League (formerly UEFA Cup) on May 18, 2011 first purely Portuguese finals. Opponents in Dublin was the surprise finalist Sporting Braga, which was defeated 1-0. Despite the successful season, gave Villas -Boas 21 June 2011 his resignation at Porto known to switch to Chelsea can. However, nor his successor was appointed on the same day. New coach Vítor Pereira is now, who was previously an assistant coach under Villas- Boas. FC Porto had not been beaten in the league season across 55 games in a row and it just lacked one more game for setting The record of Benfica. The series ended after 700 days with a 1:3 in an away game against Gil Vicente FC on 29 January 2012. The penultimate defeat gave 28 February 2010 Sporting Lisbon with a 3-0.

Teamcrest

The club crest of FC Porto was the beginning of one ball with the lettering FCP. In October 1922, the former player of the club Augusto Baptista Ferreira added (also known as Simplício ) added the former coat of arms of the city of Porto. The new emblem consists of a quartered shield, showing in the upper left and right in the bottom quarter of the former royal coat of arms of the Portuguese monarchy and in the upper right and the lower left quarter of the former coat of arms of the city. The focus of the viergeitelten shield is a heart, symbolizing the heart of Peter IV simbolisiert, which is the Lapa in an urn in the Igreja da. The shield is surrounded by the Grand Cross of the Tower and Sword Order. Above the shield the royal crown with a dragon wearing a ribbon around the neck, on which the word Invicta is. The title Invicta was awarded the city by Queen Maria II. In 2005, the logo was somewhat modernized.
